I recently had a wreck on my Harley Davidson. I can repair most of the cosmetic stuff myself but the paint on the gas tank along with the dents are beyond my ability. I was wondering if anyone had any idea of how much it would cost me to get it repainted and the dents removed.

1999 Heritage Softail 1340cc-- When I hit the start button, someting is not engaging, it is just spinning. I took off the starter and primary cover, it apperars that the gear that spins the fly wheel is just barely touching it and has started to create a few burrs on the wheel it self. What do i need to do next so i can get the gear to engage fully? I dont what else to do.

i have a customers 2001 ultra classic (12,000miles) in my shop. the problem is with the front brakes. after setting for about 1 minute the first pull has no resistance and goes all the way to the hand grip. the second pull it pumps up good and tight. i pulled each caliper off to verify all 4 pistons are working properly. there were working properly. next i attempted to bleed checking for any air in the lines. no air found. however it did have the factory dot 5 in it. so i then assumed that the problem was in the master cylinder. i purchase a repair kit and installed it. flushed out the entire front brake system using new dot 5 of course bled the entire front brake system using the vacuum bleed and also pressure bleed methods. yes i did feather (sort of speak) the brake lever to bleed all the air bubbles out of the master cylinder itself before i performed the flush and and bleed. so question is am i missing something here. well i know i aint missing anything cause i have done this a hundred times. oh yea the seals are installed currectly on the plunger. so any ideas that i may can try. i have probably 2 hours of bleeding time invested in bleeding so i am 100% sure there is now air in the system. so has anyone had this problem before. oh and please dont tell me to take it to the dealer. i have the same certifications as those guys and probably more exp than most of them. just a little stuck here. so tech to tech any ideas....thanks in advance
i dont have another around the shop for a dual disk bike. lol already thought about that. if it was a single disk i would just take one off one of my bikes. the only down fall to that even if i had one it is a paint to bleed those stupid dot 5 systems and that fluid is high as hell lol. but good thinking and thanks for the reply
good thought about the upside down calipers. however they are correctly installed. i have since this post tried the old hose in a can bleeding method and still no success. but i will go ahead and try tieing the lever back and see what happens. i will update in the AM. thanks guys
v twin i was wondering where you got your info on the 5 yr deal with changing all the brakes components. not by any means am i saying you are not correct. i am just wonderin cause i do not find that in the manual anywhere. i know the sportsters have a 25k service interval for replacement of front and rear caliper and master cylinder seals. i would just like to know so i can sell that service but i need to be able to show the customer the interval on it...thanks a lot hope to hear back from you...

Is this motor supposed to be serviced and repaired as if it is a Harley-Davidson

i have a 2001 road king with the twin cam fuel injection engine. right now it has about 27,000 miles on it. there is a ticking sound that is coming from the engine that i am told is the cam needing repair. apparently this is a common problem. it would seem that harley would honor this under a recall but i dont think they do. a mechanis told me that it would be best to install a gear drive for the repair because it would not need any further repair down the road. any comments on doing the gear drive. also, is that a repair that would take any major technical skills. could a decent wrencher repair this with a manual. thanks for any comments or info....

I am interested in becoming a certified Harley Davidson repair technician with hopes of opening my own shop in my area. Are there any online courses that I can enroll in to get my certificate through an online educational class.

ok so i wanna own a harley davidson. most likely ill buy a old one and repair it. but before i own one, i wanna know everything i can know about harley davidsons and motorcycles like those. so suggest mags i could subscribe to so i could read about davidsons and other cycles?

I have a 2000 Jaguar XJ8. I recently brought it to a shop to replace an O2 sensor because I had an engine light for that code. When I went to pick it up, the light was gone but I noticed the engine was making a sound when I accelerate the car.

If I accelerate the car while in 'Park' there is no noise so the noise only occurs when I am pressing on the accel. pad while driving. The noise sounds like a mild version of a Harley Davidson. The first thing I thought of when I heard the noise was a kid's bicycle when they attached a card to the bike so that the card hits all the spokes on the wheel while it's spinning. It's not very tinny/metallic so I don't *think* it's a hole in the exhaust.

I don't know too much about what the shop did but I know they had to take apart some things under the hood, like removing the cat. converter to get to the O2 sensor.

Any ideas what's causing this noise? And is it even remotely possible that this has nothing to do with the shop that repaired it? I literally heard it the moment I drove it off the lot and immediately turned around to have them take a look. After a day or two, they gave it back to me saying it's nothing to do with them.
